The next big corporate responsibility challenge
Failure to address human rights issues may result in consequences such as criminal actions and civil suits, negative media coverage, community outrage and shareholder censure. The dilemma faced by companies is that this new set of expectations are making many of the old business behaviours risky. It means its not advisable to introduce some checklist and hope for the best.
At Futureye, we engage your key decision-makers to help them understand business and human rights, the best and worst cases, the communication needs and then we run exercises to evaluate understanding. Our expert team, has a background in psychology, sociology, law and risk communication to bring together a unique approach to improving human rights outcomes for all stakeholders. We can develop a human rights strategy to a key issue or deliver a cultural change program that teaches human rights.
